- the signature pad is preferably a stand-alone Macromedia Flash program, but could be programmed in other languages such as, but not limited to, JavaScript, ActiveX, MS Sparkle, MS Net, MS Longhorn, Vista, etc.
- the signature pad may be executed by a hosting application (e.g., web browser) or the like and can be called from any application, such as from an HTML, XML, or XAML page, or may be a browser plug-in.
- the signature pad is configured to capture a raw signature (i.e., biometric signature) and generate a graphical image thereof.
- the signature pad preferably stores captured signature data securely (in a read only format), such as locally in a file, database, etc. for further viewing of the signature, generate a graphic image file of the signature, or transmit the signature data (e.g., as a character string) to a remote server for secure storage, creation of a graphic image file, or for viewing.
- stored signatures or signature data could be edited, but this is not a preferred option since the biometrically accurate signature is desired.
- the signature data may be captured as coordinate or pixel data, or coordinate or line data (e.g., beginning and end points, line length, and angle degrees, etc.).
- the signature pad By making the signature pad a stand alone application, such as a Flash program, the signature may be captured on its own, without submitting an accompanying HTML form or the like.
- the signature pad may be further configured to notify a site or server (e.g., a merchant web server) when the signature has been properly captured and optionally, whether the signature is verified against a signature on file. Additional information may be captured along with the signature.
- FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- a signature block (signature pad/box) 102 can be displayed on a computer screen, such as within a web browser window.
- the signature block 102 is preferably generated by a Flash or MS Sparkle program and can be part of a larger form object 100 that can include text, graphics or fields for other data entry.
- the signature pad 102 may be displayed on the computer screen in any shape (e.g., rectangle-shaped) and is configured to allow the computer user to draw, for example, to sign their name or initials. For aesthetic reasons, it may be preferable to include a signature block that is sized to match a corresponding form or web page.
- the signature pad 102 may appear, for example, on an Internet shopping cart or web form.
- the preferred functions of the signature pad are:
- Submit or Validate to send, submit, store or validate the signature (“Validate” button 106 ).
- the signature pad 102 is configured to capture the coordinates input from a peripheral device, such as a mouse or other pointing device.
- the capture process preferably outputs x and y coordinates of the location of the windows cursor within the signature pad 102 .
- the captured coordinates may then be used to create a graphical image of the raw signature (i.e., biometrically accurate signature).
- the coordinates or the graphical image file or both could be stored for later use.
- the signature data is stored as line data, e.g., beginning and end points, line length and angle degrees.
- Stored signature data is preferably secure and could be used to generate a graphic image file (gif) or other image file (e.g., .bmp, .jpg, etc.), when finally completed.
- signatures are displayed within signature pad 102 while the user is entering the signature.
- the signature pad 102 could be configured to use a computer mouse input to generate a signature.
- the left mouse button (not shown) is depressed, and the windows cursor is within the signature pad 102
- the coordinates of the mouse cursor can be captured by signature pad 102 and simultaneously displayed therein to the user via a program display function (e.g., Flash line LINETO command), so that the user can see the signature as it is being written.
- Captured signatures, signature data, graphical objects, etc. may be accessed by any means, such as online through a web page or link.
- the graphical image of the biometric signature and/or the raw signature data is transmitted to a remote server for storing.
- the image or signature data is preferably stored in a file format and can be assigned an URL address for convenient access.
- the signature may be captured and stored independent of any other application. Therefore, if the signature is captured in connection with a merchant web site or the like, the present invention may be configured to notify the merchant when the signature has been submitted, if there is an error, and even whether the signature is verified, such as against a stored signature.
- the signature pad 102 or remote server may be configured to provide the URL of the stored signature to the merchant or party requesting the signature data.
- Files are preferably stored with advanced encryption methods for security.
- the signature coordinates or graphic image may be submitted and/or stored along with any additional accompanying data, which could be used to identify the signature or signer.
- a form field to enter the Email Address could be included in a separate block 202 .
- Any data could be stored or captured with a signature. For example, one or more of the following: a Client ID, Customer ID, an IP address, a Session ID, an email address, and Company ID, SSN, EIN, SIN, etc. See also FIG. 7 .
- This additional data may be supplied by the signer by typing the information into form fields (on the signature pad itself or in the hosting application, such as the web browser HTML code), or it may be embedded in HTML or code or a client program used to host or display the signature pad 102 . If required data is missing or invalid, the signature capture process could be configured to display an appropriate error message to the user in the form of a dialog box, web page, etc.
- An HTML form 300 includes fields 302 for entry of City, Location, Zip, Phone, 800#, and Fax number.
- the drawing pad 102 has a Submit button 304 below it. If the Submit button 304 is depressed before all the fields are filled in or before the signature is drawn, an error message could be generated. Alternatively, the signature can be submitted irrespective of whether all the HTML form fields 302 have been filled in and the HTML form can be submitted separately.
- the present invention can operate independent from an HTML page. Further, the present invention is not limited to integration with an HTML page and the functionality of the signature pad 102 can be integrated with other programs, such as XML, XAML, MS Sparkle, MS Net, etc.
- the data could be captured with the signature. In the alternative or in addition thereto, it may be stored, for example in a database, to aid in future lookup of the captured signature.
- the signature and its accompanying data could be submitted independently from the hosting application form. If it is submitted to the server with the form, the server may redirect or download a web page to the client. If it is submitted independently, the hosting application or the signature capture program may display a message, such as a dialog box, to the user and/or redirect the user when the signature has been successfully received by the server or if there is an error.
- the signature or drawing can be captured on the client side, for example, with program executed on the client PC, for example, by a web browser.
- the program could comprise written instructions in any computer programming language having the appropriate capabilities, but is preferably designed specifically for online (e.g., Web) applications, such as HTML, XAML, Flash, JavaScript, MS Sparkle, MS .Net, MS Longhorn, Vista, etc.
- the program can be configured to record x and y coordinates of the signature, which may be used for viewing, secure storage or editing, and/or send the signature data in the form of pixel data, or coordinate or line data (e.g., begin and end points, line length, and angle degrees, etc.), to a server for viewing/editing/storage.
- An image generation program or module may use the coordinates to create the signature or drawing as a graphic image, which can be stored as a file on a file system, possibly for access online or in a database.
- signature capture and image generation processes could be combined and implemented by a single computer program or by several separate components residing together or remote from each other.
- a Flash program could be downloaded (e.g., with or from an HTML page) to capture the signature data and send the data to a remotely located program, which generates the image of the signature.
- the signature may be submitted as part of a hosting program form or transmitted transparently and independently from a hosting application for, or uploaded to a server as coordinates, for example, in an ASCII delimited character string as x/y coordinates or as line data comprising begin and end points of each straight line or angle degree and line length, or as a graphic image file.
- a server may use the coordinates to create a graphic image file, and may store the graphic image file or signature data for future display or editing.
- a “Thank You” message could be delivered to the client.
- the client could be redirected to a web page, a “pop-up” or dialogue box could be displayed, etc. This message could be generated by server-side script or called from the client.
- Signatures can be validated by comparing the generated signature or signature data against a stored signature or stored signature data.
- the stored signature or stored signature data could be identified by using additional data, such as email address or name, or a unique ID such as a client ID or session ID, which could be embedded as a parameter in an hosting application form (e.g., HTML or XAML) that loads the signature pad application or typed directly into the hosting application form or signature pad form field(s) so that both the hosting application and the signature pad application send the same ID to the server.
- This ID could be used by the merchant or other entity requesting the signature, to access the stored generated signature.
- the client and/or the merchant could receive the Thank You via an email generated by the signature pad or by a server script.
- Such an email could contain links(s) to and/or attachment(s), such as an HTML, PDF, or WORD document, containing information related to the signature, such as a graphical image of the signature, additional signature data, a receipt, the signed document, verification that the signature was recorded properly or matches a signature on file, etc.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a system for capturing online electronic signatures according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the system 400 could include a web server 402 (e.g., “merchant” server), a signature link server 404 coupled with a storage device 406 , and a client interface 408 , each coupled with or otherwise in communication with an electronic data network 410 , such as the Internet.
- a web server 402 e.g., “merchant” server
- signature link server 404 coupled with a storage device 406
- client interface 408 each coupled with or otherwise in communication with an electronic data network 410 , such as the Internet.
- the web server 402 may be configured to provide online content such as HTML pages, java programs, streaming broadcast data or multimedia services, etc. Such content maybe accessed and displayed, played, executed, etc. by client 408 , such as via a web browser such as INTERNET EXPLORER. Within the content to be displayed may be a call, such as an embedded object request, which causes the client 408 to access the signature link server 404 and download a program element configured to display a signature block, such as described above with respect to FIGS. 1-3 .
- the client 408 executes the program, such as within a web browser, and the user may enter a signature, such as via a peripheral device, such as a computer mouse.
- the client displays and captures the biometric signature of the user as described above.
- the signature data may be stored locally or transmitted directly to the signature link server 404 , which can be configured to generate a graphical image of the signature. Otherwise, a graphical image of the signature could be generated locally and transmitted to the signature link server 404 .
- the signature link server 404 can store signature data (e.g., coordinate, pixel or line data) or signature images in a storage device 406 , which may be part of the server or a separate data storage device.
- additional data can be stored with the signature image (e.g., in the image itself, in a text file on the file system, etc.) or in a database.
- additional form data may be transmitted to the signature link server 404 along with the signature data and/or a graphical image.
- the additional form data could be stored in the storage device 406 , such as in a database, and linked to the graphical image of the signature or to the signature data.
- the signature data and/or image files can be made accessible via the electronic data network 410 .
- signature data, additional data, and/or graphical images could be transmitted directly to the web server 402 from the client 408 .
- the generated image can be a signature only, or may include other elements, such as text element related to contract terms or other information associated with an online transaction. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 , several clauses are combined with the signature to form an online electronic signed contract.
- the server may save and/or display the receipt of the transaction or the agreement text for which the signature was required. For instance, when making a purchase online, the resulting “Thank You” page may DISPLAY the details of your order along with the signature image embedded in the HTML as a signed receipt for the customer to print for future reference.
- This data may be optionally re-displayed with a dynamic webpage that gathers the data from storage and displays it preferably as HTML along with the embedded signature image.
- This data could optionally be stored as a static HTML webpage on the server for future reference, especially for the merchant to print off in case of a credit card chargeback dispute.
- the next page could display the agreement or Terms & Conditions with the signature image embedded at the bottom of the webpage.
- the FIG. 5 “Thank You” page could store the agreed-upon text and/or accompanied data within the signature graphic image file itself or as text on the webpage along with the signature graphic image file.
- the signature capturing process is independent, it may be necessary to interact with a corresponding process.
- client 408 downloads an HTML page from merchant server 402 in order to purchase merchandise online.
- the merchant HTML page can call the signature program, which can be downloaded from the signature server 404 and then executed in a web browser of client 408 .
- client 408 displays and captures the biometric signature of the user as described above.
- the signature data may be stored locally or transmitted directly to the signature link server 404 , which can be configured to generate a graphical image of the signature. Otherwise, a graphical image of the signature could be generated locally and transmitted to the signature link server 404 .
- the merchant HTML page can be prevented from being submitted until the signature is confirmed or validated by the signature server 404 .
- a required browser cookie or hidden field in an HTML page might only be populated when the “Thank You” message is generated by signature server 404 . This way, no online transaction can occur without a confirmed biometric signature being recorded.
- the hosting application form with the required field or browser cookie may optionally be submitted to the server 402 (e.g., a merchant web server), which checks to make sure that the required fields have been set or filled, and may optionally display an error message or the received data and/or signature as a receipt.
- the signature may be displayed in the “Thank You” page as an embedded HTML IMG tag linked to the URL of the signature, which may reside on signature server 104 or be retrieved to the server 402 .
- the value of the required field or the unique ID may be used in the image URL/file naming convention, so the server 402 knows the URL to the signature image file.
- the receiving party may be authenticated.
- authentication could include, but is not limited to, (1) checking to see if the retrieval request is from someone logged in to the server 404 with the appropriate account; (2) checking to see if the retrieval request is from the same IP address as the original signer within a limited period of time; (3) checking to see if the retrieval request is from a previously designated IP address, such as of a merchant, as configured by the server 404 ; or (4) checking to see if the retrieval request is from someone using the same session or browser cookie as the original signer within a limited period.
- HTTPS and/or SSL secure certificates may be used when transmitting data between computers.
- the servers 404 and 402 may be the same server in some embodiments.
- the signature or data file when stored, they can been stored encrypted by standard encryption techniques. When, the signature or file is retrieved, standard decryption techniques can be used to decrypt the signature or file before it is sent to the retriever.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a method for capturing an online electronic signature. The method may be implemented with systems and programs as described above with reference to FIGS. 1-5 .
- a signature display block or drawing pad is displayed on the user computer separate from or in connection with the corresponding program, web page, etc.
- the signature display block or drawing pad is preferably configured to perform at least the signature capture and display process.
- the user signs in the drawing via a computer peripheral device, such as a mouse. If the drawing is acceptable to the user, he or she may submit the drawing via a submit function or button (S 6 - 3 ).
- stored captured data is sent to a server for storing and/or generation of the graphical signature. As described above, additional information may be submitted with the coordinate data or with the signature image and therefore, the signature capture process may be coordinated with other data entry.
- a clear function or button can also be provided. If at step S 6 - 3 the clear function is executed, coordinate data is erased and processing returns to step S 6 - 1 .
- Data may also be sent directly to a server application upon submission (S 6 - 5 ).
- a server application can store the signature coordinate data or generate an appropriate graphical image of the signature for display and/or storage, which may also include other items such as text or data (S 6 - 6 ).
- the accompanied data may be stored separately from the graphic image file, such as in a database and/or in a text file and/or in a static HTML “receipt” webpage of the transaction.
- an error message can be displayed (S 6 - 8 ) and processing can be returned to step S 6 - 1 . Data may be erased or left in place for correction. Otherwise, a final step can be performed (S 6 - 9 ), such as redirecting the user to another web page, program, etc. (S 6 - 10 ) or displaying a success message indicating that the transaction is complete and/or the signature has been successfully captured and generated (S 6 - 11 ).
- the signature capture program could be included within a hosting application as standard functionality or as a plug-in.
- Web pages could invoke the signature capture feature of the hosting application through standard or browser-specific HTML or XAML.
